[comp.ai.philosophy] Philosophical Aspects of Virtual Reality

thuermel@ztivax.UUCP (Dr Sabine Thuermel) (05/29/91)

Hello,
I just come back from a trip to the US I enjoyed very much. 
The one thing that was missing was getting into contact with researchers 
working on philosophical aspects of Virtual Reality. 
Since this seems to be a (technically) virulent field in the US, 
I expected - in every University Bookstore - lots of publications. 
But I did not find any. Nor did I find journals dealing with the 
aestehtics of modern media.
There must be authors like Baudrillard, Virillo, Flusser in the US 
as well as people interested in talking about Virtual Reality.
I am grateful for any pointers. I`d be happy to discuss certain aspects 
of VR via e/mail.

Thanks

Sabine Thuermel
